Cygwin install hangs at end every time
I first encountered this problem months ago while trying to add the xwindows packages to my cygwin isntall - the installer would hang in the middle. I deleted all the cygwin files a few days ago and tried again, with the same problem. It doesn't matter which host I pick to download from, the result is the same. So I tried again - deleted the cygwin directory and this time I just installed the basic package. At the end, it hangs up, never creates any icons or batch file from which to launch cygwin. I'm using the latest setup.exe from cygwin.com - Joel -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

I'm using the latest setup.exe from cygwin.com Joel, Might be one of the post-install scripts failing. What I have done is to: Go to: /etc/postinstall Look for scripts that don't look like *.sh.done; rather they look like *.sh. Create a directory '_Save.joel'. The extension is to remind you that you and not 'setup.exe' or some Cygwin script created it. The '_' is to ensure that 'ls' lists it at the top (reducing the chances you will forget about it). Move the first (alphabetically) non-'.done' script into the directory. Try running setup.exe again, ... If you have to, reinstall all (some? one?) the apps after (alphabetically) the one(s) you moved into '_Save.joel'. Three apps that I and others have had problems with are: * gnuplot * grepmail * postinstall-ec-fonts-mftraced This may not be the official or even a very good way to solve this problem. All I know is it worked for me, when nothing else did, and when all other advice went over my head. Are you running Vista? These kinds of problems seem to be more common with Vista, at least in my experience. Cygwinners: I'm curious as to why there is a postinstall script that can fail and setup does not recognize there is something amiss with the install. Good luck, Lee Lee D.

Full install hangs at gnome-vfs2.sh during install, gconftool-2 running/hung
All downloaded without install on Feb 15, 2007. Installation attempt of All on Windows XP Pro on a P4 laptop hangs when it gets to the post-install script gnome-vfs2.sh. There is a single instance of gconftool-2.exe running. CPU, disk, and network are dead idle. After 10 minutes, hit cancel and the installer exits, telling me that the installation is complete. This leaves many cygwin related tasks running. Not knowing the task structure of either cygwin nor (especially) Windows XP, I reboot to kill them off. Deleted everything installed (c:\cygwin) and retried three times with identical results. --- Tried same install with a download I make on October 27, 2005 installs and works fine, first time (This is the version I was using until last Friday). I would like to capture a good copy of the cygwin installation archive on CD for off-line use (as I did on October of 2005). How can I tell when this is fixed?

Disable the Logitech Process Monitor service associated with your webcam?

buggy device drivers / AV / PFW software have been known to break cygwin in

Blow away your current install using the procedure in the FAQ, but keep the
local package directory where setup.exe stored its downloaded files. Re-run
setup.exe, tell it to install from local directory, bingo. Just click all
the way through.

Artie, Eric, as long as it's got as far as the postinstall stage, that means most of the installation is there; postinstall scripts are mostly written in bash shell script, and at the time they are run enough of cygwin should have been installed for them to work. Ceratinly all the binary files should have been installed, and since cygcheck is a native win32 program and will run no matter how borked the cygwin installation is, you should have no problems invoking it from a DOS shell in the cygwin bin dir. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Let's see what you've got so far, and then later we might need to look at setup logs and suchlike. cheers, DaveK I wonder if perhaps they think they can't run cygcheck because they haven't finished installing cygwin yet? It does seem that many people are unaware that cygcheck is a native win32 binary... Ooh, yes, I guess I should have pointed that out. Artie, Eric, as long as it's got as far as the postinstall stage, that means most of the installation is there; postinstall scripts are mostly written in bash shell script, and at the time they are run enough of cygwin should have been installed for them to work. Ceratinly all the binary files should have been installed, and since cygcheck is a native win32 program and will run no matter how borked the cygwin installation is, you should have no problems invoking it from a DOS shell in the cygwin bin dir. cheers, DaveK Yes, cygwin seems to work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/c $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 StarBug2 1.5.13(0.122/4/2) 2005-03-01 11:01 i686 unknown unknown C ygwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/c $ I've enclosed the output from cygcheck -c and cygcheck -s Regards, Eric Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status _update-info-dir00231-1 OK apr 0.9.6-1 OK apr-util0.9.6-1 OK ash 20040127-1 OK astyle 1.15.3-3OK atk 1.8.0-1 OK atk-devel 1.8.0-1 OK atk-doc 1.8.0-1 OK atk-runtime 1.8.0-1 OK autoconf2.59-1 OK autoconf-devel 2.59-1 OK autoconf-stable 2.13-5 OK automake1.7.9-1 OK automake-devel 1.9.2-1 OK automake-stable 1.4p6-2 OK base-files 3.2-1 OK base-passwd 2.2-1 OK bash2.05b-16OK bc 1.06-2 OK binutils20041229-1 OK bison 20030307-1 OK byacc 1.9-1 OK bzip2 1.0.2-6 OK ccrypt 1.7-1 OK cgoban 1.9.14-1OK cmake 2.0.5-1 OK coreutils 5.2.1-5 OK crypt 1.1-1 OK ctags 5.5-4 OK cvs 1.11.17-1 OK cvsutils0.2.1-1 OK cygipc 2.03-2 OK cygrunsrv 1.01-1 OK cygutils1.2.6-1 OK cygwin 1.5.13-1OK cygwin-doc 1.4-2 OK cygwin-x-doc1.0.4-1 OK ddd 3.3.9-1 OK diffutils 2.8.7-1 OK doxygen 1.2.18-1OK ed 0.2-1 OK editrights 1.01-1 OK emacs 21.2-13 OK emacs-X11 21.2-13 OK expat 1.95.8-1OK file4.12-1 OK findutils 20041227-1 OK flex2.5.4a-3OK fontconfig 2.2.2-1 OK fortune 1.99.1-1OK freetype2 2.1.5-1 OK fvwm2.4.7-3 OK gawk3.1.4-3 OK gcc 3.3.3-3 OK gcc-ada 3.3.3-3 OK gcc-core3.3.3-3 OK gcc-g++ 3.3.3-3 OK gcc-gdc 3.3.3-3 OK gcc-mingw 20040810-1 OK gcc-mingw-core 20040810-1 OK gcc-mingw-g++ 20040810-1 OK gdb 20041228-2 OK gdbm1.8.3-7 OK gettext

Re: Install hangs
I recently experienced a similar scenario, posted a general description of the user experience (with some questions) in an attempt to elicit general comments. I rcv'd the same response as those before me... as is evidenced in the archives. That is, no response. I suppose the philosophy is: if there is no response then no problem exists. ;-) On Mon, 2006-09-25 at 14:38 -1000, Eric Mader wrote: Hello, I'm trying to update my Cygwin installation using setup.exe v. 2.510.2.2 (the latest as of a few hours ago).

Install hangs when installing xorg-x11-fenc-6.8.1.0-2
Hi! It downloads correctly, but when installing: usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/adobe-dingbats.enc.gz it stops. If left alone for some hours it eats up all memory and crashes. Have tried with previous versions, but setup stops when encountering the first .gz file. Using setup.exe 2.510.2.2 Any tips?

Fltk install hangs
I am also experiencing a hang installing fltk. (I would reply to http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-11/msg00187.html, but at work I'm only subscribed to the digest list, and it hasn't shown up yet.) I was just doing a routine update of all packages, using the ftp.plig.net mirror(selected more or less at random). It downloaded them all fine, then started to install them. It got as far as fltk and then hung on the one file, /usr/share/doc/fltk-1.1.4/fl_color_chooser.jpg. I waited for a few seconds, then I clicked Cancel. I went back into setup, installed the rest of the other packages(which went fine), then went back in and tried fltk again. It still didn't work. I checked the mailing list archive on the web site, found the above message, then tried again and found he was correct--the file it was hanging on grew continually while I refreshed my Explorer window. It went from about 10 megabytes to 24 megabytes in less than a minute, which is an unusual size for a JPG in any event. Trying to decompress the fltk-1.1.4-2.tar.bz2 file using bunzip2 produces the following message: bunzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly; perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows. bunzip2: No error Input file = fltk-1.1.4-2.tar.bz2, output file = fltk-1.1.4-2.tar It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
